I don’t know who needs to hear this, but AMEX has more cards than the gold and platinum.

Stop getting credit cards because social media told you to and focus on how to get rewards or cashback based on spending you’re already doing.

If you haven’t already, this is the perfect time of year to sit down and RECAP your finances to make sure you’re on track to knock out your money goals this year. 💪🏾

Have you crossed anything off your list so far? Drop it below so we can celebrate!

Good morning to everybody, especially the Florida Panthers for winning The Stanley Cup last night 🙌🏾

Good morning to everyone except the women who think telling women “but that’s the man you chose” is an adequate response to someone disclosing the trauma they’ve endured at the hands of a significant other.

Don’t tell me Happy Memorial Day.

I’ve typed and erased a hundred captions. I’ve burst into tears too many times for a reel. There are years when your loss feels more like an ache, like when it’s gonna rain and I can feel it in my hip. Then there are years like this one where it feels like the first year without you and it feels like I can’t breathe.

You saved my life, G and I will forever live with the pain of knowing I couldn’t save yours.

Until Valhalla. Save a seat for me, just not next to your big ass 😂😭

If you read this far, do me a favor? Check on your military friends/family. Even if it’s just a snap or a text. So many of us walk with our demons daily, but today the walk seems harder.

Time flys when you’re loving life!

Next week is finals week and I’ll officially be done with my first semester of college 🥹🎉 I’m so proud of me! Pre-finals I have straight A’s, so no matter what happens next week, I know I gave these classes my all and it shows 💚

And this week’s wrap-up has special guests! Last week, I took a day trip to San Diego to see my frennn & made a special appearance in LA this week!

Yesterday,, I asked on my IG story if y’all were or when you’re working towards a savings goal. It came from a conversation I was having with a few weeks ago about how it’s important to LIVE on this money journey. Yes, we all have goals and things we’re saving for, but you don’t have to be miserable until you reach it. It’s ok to use your money to treat yourself sometimes!

In my latest YouTube video, I talk about how I use value-based spending to adjust my budget to include things I value, like my seafood boils 😂, while actively working towards my savings goals.

DM me the plug emoji (🔌) to get the link to the video! & drop some good juju for my finals next week 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Ain’t a woman alive that can take my mama place 💚

I couldn’t imagine raising my kids without you to guide me (and spoil my kids). To know that you’ve had to do this without your mom there to cheer you on and guide your hands hurts my heart, but I know Grandma is so proud of you. You’ve defied every odd and shattered every expectation people had of you as a teen mom, and I am truly in awe of your strength.

To the woman who taught me strength, resilience, grace, hard ass work, and most importantly, love…I will spend the rest of my life showing the world the damn good job you did raising me.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mommy 💐 & all the moms/mother figures out there!

Happy Friday Cousinssss✨

It’s Mother’s Day Weekend 💐 (shoutout to all the Muvas💚) so I plan to do absolutely tf nothing 🙌🏾 I buy the stuff I really want every year (that’s the hack to avoid being disappointed 😂😂) so slide to see how I tricked on myself for being a dope ass mom 😎

The last two weeks has been a lot of hockey, homework, and hard work honestly. I registered for my summer classes, started signing kids up for summer programs, and I started planning an itinerary for when 2 of my sisters come to LA next month.

If I had to rate these two weeks out of 10? It gets an 8 🏅

They don’t call me your financial counselor’s favorite counselor for nothing 🔌🤩

Thank you so much to Jane Doe, Inc., the Massachusetts coalition against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence for inviting me to teach my budget workshop to an amazing group of people. I left the Zoom with my cup so FULL!

Here’s a peek at some of the tea from the feedback I’ve received so far 🤩

Clock that tea.

I tell people all the time that financial freedom looks different to everybody, and for me, it looks a hell of a lot like I will never have to endure the trauma that is being a Black woman in white corporate spaces for a check ever again.

Y’all gotta better chance of The Cowboys winning the Super Bowl 😂😂😂

Listen, anybody still looking for speakers for Juneteenth?! 👀 I’m DYING to send out my entire media kit to somebody; I mean, just look at this brag sheet 🤩🤌🏾✨ I want to give myself flowers just reading it 😂😂😂

Wait till y’all see how she took my survey results and created a case study to showcase the feedback I got from the presentation on my BLACK framework that I did for the members of the AFCPE in February. I taught financial service providers how to incorporate cultural sensitivity into their services, and it was🔥🔥!

This Brownie is 9 years old today! 🤩🥳🎂

Brownie #3 has the CRAZIEST birth story, so I should have known she was gonna be something else 😂😂

Fun fact: she is the only one of my children born in Baltimore, and she was born the morning of the Freddie Grey riots. Before her dad could sign her birth certificate, his National Guard unit was activated and they came and picked him up from the hospital. He would be gone for two weeks, sleeping under the overpass next to Ravens Stadium and on the floor of Mondawmjn Mall.

When he came home 2 weeks later, they locked eyes and have been INSEPARABLE ever since.

Our rainbow baby has brought nothing but love, laughs, and a healthy dose of “why would you say that” to our lives, and I wouldn’t have it any other way 💚

Transfer $9 to your savings account to celebrate with her!

And no, I won’t get over it.

And before some of you jump in my DMs, because I know how yall like to tussle, acknowledging the reverberating impact of slavery in the development of systems never designed to benefit us in the first place is NOT a victim mindset.

The bodies and profits from slavery helped fund and build the Ivy League schools they work so very hard to keep us out of, the banks that aid in the system designed to prevent us from accumulating wealth, and even the wall that Wall Street is named after.

You don’t get to tell me to get over it.

As heard on 97.1FM in LA 🤌🏾✨

Would you try this?

Mid-Week Check-In
Mid-Week Check-In

Happy � Day, cousins! Join me for a quick temperature check for your week and some live Q&A!

Leave the advice to the professionals 😂 ABEG. Title 15 USC §1681(b) is the Law of Permissible Purpose aka, they need your authorization to get a copy of your consumer report. (It’s actually super useful to know this if you’re cleaning up the inquiries on your credit!)You know what it doesn’t talk about? The legal or lawful reporting of late payments. Late payments are NOT illegal unless they’re inaccurate.(If it’s a credit card reporting the late payment and they have not issued your monthly statement no less than 20 days before the payment due date, that late payment can not be reported as such. But you’ll need proof.)

Would you sign a prenup? 👀

DON’T BUY SH*T UNTIL YOU CLOSE! Any major fluctuations to your credit before closing on your home can put you at risk to lose it!

WON’T HE DO IT?! Being a later in life in-person college student is HARD. Hell, I don’t know how y’all did this fresh out of high school! Once I add all of my other obligations (like the kids, my business, social media, etc.), I truly didn’t think I would be able to keep my head above water. BUT CALL ME MIKE PHELPS CAUSE I’M SWIMMING THROUGH THIS SEMESTER WITH A 4.0! 🏊🏾‍♀️ To anybody considering going back to school, don’t let your fear of the unknown and the uncomfortable hold you back. The time is gonna pass no matter what you decide. With a solid plan and a dope support system (shoutout to the advising and veteran service staff at East LA Community College!), you’ll do great 🫶🏾

💚 Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Idk what it’s giving, but it doesn’t give I got 5 kids 🙌🏾😌 Nails: @nailsbyla_pana Bracelets: @fashionnova Jumpsuit: @shoedazzle Necklaces: @thegivingkeys & @fashionnova Purse: @telfarglobal Y’all have been lowkey following along on my “Girl, Get Out The House” journeys, so here’s a recent fit check. This weekend my homegirls and I took my Cali mama out to @ogcannabiscafe in West Hollywood 🍃 I went for the first time last month for my birthday and had so much fun! As soon as I told her about it, she told us we running it back 😂😂 We had such a good time! I can’t wait to go back on a warm day and sit outside, the outdoor area was cute but it was raining both times I went 😩 The food was good as hell. That FRESH skillet sugar cookie with the cookies and cream ice cream on top?! 🐐

It gets better. This year marked 10 years since The Worst Year of My Life. I was bullied out of the Army, my marriage was dissolving, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had to move back home with my 2 kids, I received my first of what would be many mental health diagnoses, man the list goes on and on. Every day got harder and harder to get through. But I got through them. And you will too.

Shoutout to my support system because WHEW! I may look like a one-man band, but if it wasn’t for the people I have in my life, I wouldn’t be able to do half of the dope sh*t I show you guys. It can be a little overwhelming at times being everything for everyone, and having a support system in place that I can complain with or cry to or lean on is what keeps my cup full enough to pour from 💚

Happy Financial Literacy Month 🥳 Y’all financial counselor’s favorite financial counselor is talking Gen-Z & debt on @scrippsnews today at 4:30 pm EST (1:30 PM PST) 🤩 Comment SCRIPPS to get the link to watch it live!

Day 2 ready 💚 @dreamvillefest Anybody else here in Raleigh? 👀

What does financial freedom look like for you today? Also, FEAR THE DEEP ⚓️ @seattlekraken 🏒

And no my kids not invited. Sometimes it’s the peace before they get up for school. Sometimes it’s the hour past their bedtime I get to watch Netflix quietly. …and sometimes it’s a beach in Mexico 😅 For the moms, do you feel like you “break” enough? If you do, how do you do that AND everything else? If not, what do you need to get a break?

@dreamvillefest played in our face 😩😩 As irritating as changing lineups are, it’s a part of festival season. Y’all could have given us another R&B artist though 😩😩

SAVE THIS FOR LATER! Buying tradelines is super convenient…and not entirely legal. Sure, you can buy it all you want. That part isn’t illegal, but in the case of say credit card accounts, it does violate the agreement the owner of the account signed and could lead to the account being closed and/or a lawsuit. Aaand if you use the tradeline to misrepresent your credit worthiness to lenders, you could be in danger of committing fraud 😬 ☕️ And I’m not minding y’all business, but selling them is an act that can be used against you in a RICO case. 🤐 Rebuilding your credit THE RIGHT WAY isn’t the quickest process in the world, but it’s a lot better than looking over your shoulder every 2 seconds. Just saying.

RIP @macmiller 🕊️ For 2024, my word of the year is intentional. I’m intentionally spending my money in ways that fill my cup. For me, this means concert tickets for my favorite artists, trips to see my favorite sports teams play at home, taking the kids to experience new things, spending time with my friends, and spending time with myself in dope places. How are you spending your money this year?

Comment LETTER and I’ll DM you the template for you to use! And remember: we get it in writing because…it makes it a legally binding contract, right. You don’t always have to open a new credit card to get access to more money. If your credit history meets their requirements for a higher credit limit, asking could be the only thing keeping you from it. This is why credit monitoring is such a useful tool. If I know where my score stands, with a little Google search I can find out the range my score needs to be in to qualify for my increase instead of wasting an inquiry if my score is too low.
